To cZZ whom i m y con rn: and the valve is held in its seat by a spring Be it known that 1, WILLIAM D.

The steam from the Lion of the invention, such as will enable othpipe I passes directly into the upper chamber,

There may be any decondensation of exhaust-steam and to siphon sired number of these cones, which increase 15 the steam out of the cylinder by facilitating in size downward, and the lower one of which its rapid condensation. is preferably provided with a collar J, which Myinvention consists in a suitable shell or forms a support for itself and the other cones, casting divided into two chambers,into the upas shown. The cold water and the condensed per one of which the exhaust-steam is conductsteam are forced downwardly through the 20 ed and from the lower one of which the water cones into the lower chamber, and from this is discharged, combined with a pipe having a lower chamber the water is discharged contracted nozzle and through which cold wathrough the pipe L. This lower chamber is ter is forced and a series of cones provided also provided with a faucet O at its bottom, with openings and into which the exhaustso that it can be completely emptied when- 25 steam is drawn by the force of the stream of ever so desired.
